Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A speech recovery system implemented with a noise cancellation apparatus comprising: a vibration sensor and a microphone for receiving and transmitting voice signals as incoming speeches from a speaker; and the vibration sensor and the noise cancellation apparatus further includes a speaker identity extracting module for extracting speaker identity representations from the incoming speeches as a referencing identity representation from the incoming speeches from the speaker; the vibration sensor further generates vibration signals corresponding to the voice signals without being affected by environmental noise signals for applying the vibration signals as reference signals for cancelling the environmental noise signals; wherein the speaker identity extracting module further applies signals from the vibration sensor and the microphone for extracting and applying the speaker identity representations into linguistic representations to synthesize clear full band high quality personal speech with same linguistic content and same speaker characteristics as the incoming speeches from the speaker; the noise cancellation apparatus further applies a SNR value to determine a value of quietness of acoustic environment form selecting proper vibration sensor and microphone sensor signals to convert the signals from one or a combination of both channels to a probabilistic distribution of linguistic (PDL) and converting the PDL and speaker identity representation to the speaker's microphone quality speech; and the noise cancellation apparatus further applies a SNR value to determine a value of quietness of acoustic environment for selecting proper vibration sensor and microphone sensor signals to convert the signals form one or a combination of both channels to the partial band PDL and the vibration sensor and a microphone sensor channel further applies a corresponding neural network model for converting a full band PDL, wherein a partial band PDL is converted from signals received from the vibration and the full band PDL is converted form signals from the microphone.
